Civil Discourse in Practice: A CFR–CD&D Dialogue at Indiana University Southeast

Play 

The Council on Foreign Relations' partnership with the College Debates and Discourse (CD&D) Alliance kicked off last month at Indiana University Southeast for a campus-wide dialogue on AI regulation. CFR and CD&D share a common belief: that strengthening civil discourse and global affairs engagement on college campuses is essential to preparing the next generation of informed, engaged citizens.

 

Together, the two organizations brought students, faculty, and community members together to engage in a dialogue that leveraged CD&D’s immersive, participatory programming with the CFR Education simulation, Regulating AI.

 

Learn more about the event's results and how CFR Education and CD&D plan to bring this programming to campuses across the country in a new blog!
